An Immaculate, New-Old-Stock Fairytale Classic Complete with Both Factory Stems & Original Shipping Tube
For enthusiasts of high-concept Danish design and versatile smoking dynamics, this Hans Christian Andersen (HCA) Model II is a spectacular vault discovery. Having spent more than two decades safely tucked away in its original factory packaging, this pristine New Old Stock (NOS) piece is entirely unsmoked, unlit, and pristine—offering a flawless two-in-one configuration.
The Architecture & Dual-Stem Persona
The Model II is a masterful, fluid take on the classic Calabash form. The stummel features an organic, sweeping horn-like profile, where the bottom of the bowl transitions seamlessly into an elongated shank that glides upward. The briar is dressed in a rich, warm walnut contrast finish, displaying an exceptional array of tight mixed flame grain swirling around the flanks and a beautiful array of birdseye capping the rim.
The defining genius of the HCA series is its versatility. The shank terminates in a brilliant, freshly polished solid brass collar engineered to accept two entirely distinct, factory-matched vulcanite stems:
The Reading Long-Stem: A sweeping, graceful Churchwarden mouthpiece that transforms the pipe into a cool-smoking, relaxing lounge companion.
The City Short-Stem: A compact, elegant saddle stem that turns the sweeping Calabash into a balanced, nimble, and highly unique outdoor clencher.
Curation Notes:
Condition: Vault Mint / New Old Stock. Completely unsmoked and pristine. The raw briar chamber is factory-fresh, the rim is immaculate, and both vulcanite stems retain their original jet-black mirror finish with zero oxidation.
Accessories: Accompanied by its highly coveted, rare original vintage Stanwell cardboard storage/shipping tube, perfectly protecting the set for decades.
Nomenclature: Stamped with clean, minimalist definition on the lower curvature of the smooth shank: STANWELL over HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN.
